When I open 36 new tabs (on a full row) it hangs on tab 36 (tab-amount might be depended on the screen resolution, at his moment this is 1024x768)

I do use this amount of tabs regularly so it is important for me. K-Meleon 1.1.6 didn't have this problem (with layers).

Didn't test this in other Gecko browsers yet, but it wasn't a problem in Maxthon.

i opened upto 50 tabs on 1.5(10246x768) with absolutely no crashes or errors (twice for confirmation), didn't even consume much memory, it might be due to your system, are you using xp or 98?

i have the same problem,the system is vista,and the cpu is up to 50%

elroy: That probably means you have a dual core pc so it is 100% on one core (or you might have Hyper Treading on Pentium 4).

It seams that it only happens when you have the tabbar up (-not down) in the browser window and the tabbar is sepperated from the tab/window buttons-toolbar.

When you have set the minimum width of tabs different then the maximum width, everytime you open a couple of new tabs it resizes all the tabs. Until it cannot go smaller (width 10mm?). But with this bug it somehow stops making the tabs smaller and then the browser hangs. Although I don't know this for sure, it does look like it.

I've found a workaround for this problem:

When you go to Edit -> Preferences -> Browsing -> Tabbed Browsing -> Tab Bar
When you make the minimum button width the same as the maximum button width, you browser will not hang anymore when making new tabs. I've made them all 10mm.

It worked for me.

Well, does it hang or does it crash?
hangs = doesn't respond anymore (or very slowly) --> check CPU usage
crashes = closes unexpectedly

Is it with any 36 tabs/pages or only with certain 36 tabs/pages (a saved session for instance)?

Yep, and such a high CPU/core load is usually caused by badly designed Flash applets somewhere on a page. Try it with Flashblock enabled (Tools > Privacy > Block Flash).

I cannot imagine that.

Make the following test: Restore the maximum button width to its default size and try it with a noticeably smaller window (not maximized). If your suspicion were true, the browser should crash/hang with a noticeably smaller number of tabs...
